Abstract

comparative evaluation of chemically defined antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), small molecule-drug conjugates (SMDCs), and peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) targeting and activated by fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in solid tumors. Both the SMDC (OncoFAP-Gly-Pro-MMAE) and the ADC (7NP2-Gly-Pro-MMAE) candidates delivered high amounts of active payload (i.e., MMAE) selectively at the tumor site, thus producing a potent antitumor activity in a preclinical cancer model.
